On This Day
An early Martin Keown ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ strike is enough to secure Villa the points as a strong rearguard action and a Gary Shaw ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ cameo on his final appearance keeps Villa clear at the top of the table.
Graham Taylor's ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa have now ๐ฅ lost just once in twenty three Division Two games, ๐ฉ winning fourteen.
League and European Cup winning Villa forward Gary Shaw ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ 26 makes his 212th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to BK Frem Copenhagen in May 1988. Shaw played for Villa between 1978 and 1988 leaving with a record of ๐ฉ W98 ๐จ D46 ๐ฅ L68, โฝ 79 Goals & ๐ฅ 22 Assists. Sadly injuries had stalled Shaw's career however as he made just 18 appearances over his final four seasons with the club.
Villa now boasted just one player who had won the title seven years earlier - defender Allan Evans ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ.
Centre forward Garry Thompson ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ makes his ๐ 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it ๐ฉ W16 ๐จ D15 ๐ฅ L19, โฝ 14 Goals and ๐ฅ 7 Assists at a rate of one goal involvement for every 2.38 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
